Nurse SMS replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

This is a jumbled mix of red herrings, political smoke screens and generalizations. Do facts figure in anywhere in your assertions and, if so, could you share your scientific sources? Failed how, if...

Nurse SMS replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

Here on the ground, there has been no flip-flopping. Nobody just randomly yanks out meds and starts tossing them at people hoping something sticks. It's called Evidence Based Practice. There is a...
Texas governor to residents: "The safest place for you is at your home" due Covid-19 spike

Nurse SMS replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

This is a shockingly presumptive generalization for a healthcare provider. Are you actually proposing that people are purposefully keeping them as inpatients and undertreating them? What on earth...
Texas governor to residents: "The safest place for you is at your home" due Covid-19 spike

Nurse SMS replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

Nurse SMS replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

This is just pure, unadulterated cognitive dissonance. It is happening. It isn't a hoax or an exaggeration or a CNN story meant to discredit your preferred political leaders. That you have no argument...

Texas governor to residents: "The safest place for you is at your home" due Covid-19 spike

Nurse SMS replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

Nurse SMS replied to elomi18's topic in Nursing Career

Looking at your positions above, the thing in common is that you left before you even had time to start to get acquainted with the job and some success under your belt. Most nursing jobs, even when...
Job status change (full to part time) question

Nurse SMS replied to Vp66's topic in Nursing Career

It depends if they have a part time opening I would think. You have not been there long enough for them to try to jump through hoops to get a new position approved for you. You probably should discuss...

How to get ICU New Grad

Nurse SMS replied to sajeunesse's topic in First Year After Licensure

Getting an ICU new grad position in the US, in pretty much any region, is a highly competitive venture, as I am sure you are aware. Combine that with COVID and hiring freezes and you are going to have...

New Nurse Looking for New Job

Nurse SMS replied to QueenxRN's topic in Nursing Career

Why did you quit your first job and how long were you there? You don't say how long it has been since you graduated either. Finding work as a new grad with less than a year of experience can be a...
Which job should I choose while in nursing school? CNA in hospital vs. nursing home?

Nurse SMS replied to vanessa123yaa's topic in Nursing Career

You aren't going to "learn" much as a CNA either, just have to do vitals on top of ADLs. Unscheduled sounds like a PRN job, or what we call "per diem" here in the States. Yes, that means you don't...

Push forward or move on, job choices are still confusing 9+ years in!

Nurse SMS replied to XfitRN517's topic in Nursing Career

Asking for higher pay now would be in bad form...a bait and switch, if you will. How would you feel about your employer coming back saying they didn't mean to pay you so much, so would you please do...
